Structure, function and stability of enzymes from the Archaea

M J Danson et al. Trends Microbiol. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

The Archaea include microorganisms growing in some of the most extreme environments on earth. Consequently, their cellular components are remarkably stable entities and have considerable potential in the biotechnology industry. Here, we review the structure of archaeal enzymes in the context of their ability to function at extremes of temperature, salinity, pH and pressure.
